Summary:
Zip code 76557, serving the Moody, Texas area, is home to a single high school, Moody High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with a small enrollment of 216 students as part of the Moody Independent School District (Isd).
Moody High School presents a compelling paradox for parents. On one hand, the school excels at keeping students on track, boasting a stellar 98.2% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. It also offers a highly personalized learning environment with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.4:1 and per-student spending of $14,411. However, academic proficiency on state exams generally falls below state averages. For the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency rates were 51.06% in Algebra I, 67.35% in Biology, 46.55% in English II Reading, and 53.06% in U.S. History, all below their respective state averages. A notable bright spot was English I Reading, where 56.36% of students were proficient, slightly exceeding the state average of 55.43%.
The school's small size leads to significant year-over-year volatility in test scores, as the performance of a single class can heavily influence percentages. For instance, English I Reading proficiency jumped from 40.32% to 56.36% between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. While the school's state ranking has been relatively stable in the lower-middle tier (currently ranked 1,242 out of 2,009 high schools), its ability to graduate students at a very high rate despite a majority-low-income student body (54.63% eligible for free or reduced lunch) is a key strength. U.S. History, with a 17-percentage-point gap below the state average, represents a clear area for improvement, while the strong English I Reading results suggest a potential instructional strength in the 9th-grade curriculum.
